We always had salad on Wednesdays.

I also always got hiccups on Wednesdays. Not sure if the two are connected.

We always had fish on Friday (usually fish fingers) but I could never work out why they were always served with slices of beetroot.
Always loved the school version of rocky road.

I usually read rather than post, but I thought a discussion that came up with a friend last night may interest others too. We were reminiscing about school dinners, the good and the bad. Everyone loathed faggots - why did they keep feeding them to us. Yuck. Even the word makes me queasy after all these years. The other things that stand out in my mind are 'cheese flaps' which were sort of like puff pastry pasties filled with cheese. We had cake on Fridays too so everyone was always in a rush to get there first. There were lots of teachers shouting "don't run in the corridors". Funny how these things come back to you
